National Prevention Week
National Prevention Week is a public education platform showcasing the work of communities and organizations across the country that are preventing substance use and misuse — and promoting positive mental health.
Thank you for celebrating National Prevention Week 2025! Throughout the year, you can share the good news of prevention:
- Watch and share our new prevention video (2 minutes, 29 seconds) — highlighting how the power of prevention is building a healthier America and showcasing the incredible work the prevention community does every day.
- Keep sharing photos and videos from your events — using the hashtags #NationalPreventionWeek and #MyPreventionStory on social media.
- Find resources to support your prevention efforts.
Sign up for our email list and follow us on X, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
